ARC 2017 launch successful

The bustling city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria played host to the start of the 32nd edition for the ARC and ARC+, earlier this month.

Over 1600 sailors from all over the world congregated in the port city for their transatlantic voyage to the Caribbean shores of Saint Lucia. Almost 300 boats will sail under the ARC banner this year, with family cruisers, professional racers, retired couples, competitive crewmates and thrill-seeking amateurs, all on the start line for an epic sail across the Atlantic Ocean.
